Montana State football commit breaks Idaho high school career yards record

Titus Vidlak has another Idaho state high school football record to his name. On Friday, Nov. 6, Vidlak broke Idaho’s career yardage record, leading Fruitland (ID) to a 45-22 win over Emmett (ID) in the IDHSAA Class 4A quarterfinals. Vidlak finished with 253 scrimmage yards, bringing his career total to 9,628 as a four-year starter for the Grizzlies. That breaks the all-time yardage record previously held by Tanner Magnum (Eagle High School), who finished his high school career with 9,599 career yards. In addition to the career yardage record, Vidlak set the Idaho state record for career touchdowns on Sept. 18 in a 41–13 road win over Bonners Ferry (ID). He broke the record previously set by Keegan Duncan (106), who went on to play linebacker at Utah State and win Idaho's Gatorade Player of the Year in 2018. Following Friday's game, Vidlak now has 118 career touchdowns. It was a dominant night for the 2027 Montana State football commit from the opening kickoff. After leading Fruitland to a touchdown on the opening drive, he returned a 60-yard punt for a score to give the Grizzlies the early 16-0 advantage early on. Vidlak finished the night 9-of-12 passing for 110

Driver behavior, crossing guard shortages create challenges for student safety in Billings

BILLINGS, Mont. — For children walking to school, crossing the street can be one of the most dangerous parts of their day. At Burlington Elementary in Billings, parents and school staff say they’re seeing firsthand the challenges of keeping students safe around busy streets and they’re taking extra steps to get drivers to slow down and pay attention. Karen Merchant sees those risks every morning. Merchant came out of retirement this school year to become a crossing guard at Burlington Elementary after bringing her grandchildren to school. She says drivers distracted by their phones, along with large trucks traveling through the area, make it especially important to watch out for students. “These kids don’t see the cars. I see the cars. I watch for the cars,” Merchant said. “And these are little kids. They need help.” But helping students cross safely can put crossing guards themselves at risk. Burlington Elementary Principal Leah Yasenak says the school’s previous crossing guard, Mr. Joseph, came close to being hit by vehicles multiple times last year. “Like we tell our students, safety first. We want our community to do that too, to be safe first,” Yasenak said. The school’s PTA is also working to
